With larger prickings on a cookie pillow, such as a square pricking, I pin down the part that shows, and only one pin per corner, for the lower part that is covered with a dressing cloth. I just pin at the sides where needed.
Then as I move down, and move the dressing cloth, those side pins can be moved to keep the pricking down on the pillow, and any unevenness is hidden by the dressing cloth. I don't pin it securely All around at the beginning, as there is always some buckling around the edges when using a cookie pillow, and leaving some of it looser allowes for this, and leaves the part you are working on to lie flat.
